I don't think it's fair to call taxes on government employees "taxes"as they are effectively nothing but a pay cut. Nevertheless, I'd imagine giving teachers significant pay cuts would cause riots in the streets. But raising their taxes an equal amount would not.

Why don't we stop paying them?If politicians and government officials don't get paid won't it be less corrupt?Hmmm . . .
